The unit sporting activities a 3" color TFT screen, which looks similar to the one used on the Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901, but unlike a lot more costly Lexmark's display isn't a touchscreen.

This system, which Canon calls its Intelligent Touch System, is easy to use and gives the printer with a different look from the standard designs showcasing the standard buttons or touch-screen based user interfaces. It stays as straightforward to make use of as a touch-based display, though, with the only difference being that you don't touch the screen yet the touch sensitive switches.

Both can be gotten used to allowing for various paper sizes such as A4 and also 10 x 15 centimeters glossy photo paper. If the front tray lacks paper, though, the printer will not immediately change to the back tray, as you have to establish it to make use of that draw using the AIO's user interface or on the printing choices page after you have pushed print.

Writing jobs are done at an unbalanced speed on the fastest setting, although the top quality of the posts does take a considerable hit.
